could flashbangs work in apb, hypothetically?
vsb replied to hapygirl's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
flashbangs would do no damage so they have to be the best at area denial and prenading to make up for letting carspawners exist, but frags already excel at those things - so now you you either have to make flashbangs ridiculous with more than 14m aoe and 5-10 seconds of effect, or no one will use them molotovs run into the same issue, albeit with a little more damage on a personal level i tend to dislike flashbangs in pvp because it removes control, getting chipped by a frag generally guarantees you'll die but you can still do stuff in the meantime, whether its fight, run, call out info cant do much of that with a blank white screen until the respawn map pops up -
What are those empty spawn locations for?
vsb replied to hapygirl's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
these used to be contact locations, g1 shuffled the contacts around when they moved some to asylum i think another partial reason britney bloodrose moved was because there was/is a persistent bug that prevented witnessing criminals in that top area of waterfront -
but little orbit has told us that there were actually manual bans and incorrect use of fairfight? i get that some cheaters tend to jump on every excuse, but thats a really bad example to use lol

Inquiry into recent APB banwave
vsb replied to VanilleKeks's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
bro knows the name of a single criminal charge and suddenly he's johnny cochran -
can actually shut console apb down? iirc they inherited the contract g1 entered into with deep silver to publish on consoles, so it might be entirely dependent on when that contract is up or deep silver backs out also, assuming orbit ever manages to turn things around, its probably cheaper and easier to update the already existing game than to have to re-publish apb on consoles from scratch

it’s not fraud and it won’t get you “jammed up”, whatever that means -
dont forget the player GMs who were definitely not corrupt and handing out exclusive items or protecting their friends

I'm pretty sure it counts as griefing lol

jesus christ i cant tell what’s more cringe, trying to use nostalgia bait for a sale, the shitty fan fiction lore drop, or selling a 1slot gun for 3slot prices how much money are you even going to make off this sale lol, are you sure it’s worth a middle finger to the small playerbase you’ve got left? edit: and little orbit didn’t even make this game so what is this “honoring your creation” garbage???

Star rework & Implementing of N-Tec as default weapon.
vsb replied to iRawwwN's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
Fine. What does this balance change solve? The N-TEC will still be better than the STAR. New players will have a harder time with a more complex starting weapon. Chances are the STAR will actually end up performing worse as a burst fire assault rifle than it does now. The STAR plays differently enough from the N-TEC to justify its existence and it also has a specific gameplay purpose. Meanwhile the Ursus, Scoped N-TEC, and even the FAR are all way closer to redundant overlap with the base N-TEC, so why not mangle one of them instead? Or why not revive a truly dead gun, and rework the ISSR-A? -
Rerolling after a ban was something G1 (inconsistently) enforced, i don’t think orbit cares as long as you aren’t continuing the original banned behavior

The Great Debate: What is the best vechicle in APB.
vsb replied to Ichinose's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
vegas, coywolf, and pioneer/espacio are pretty interchangeable at this point, with the exception of cargo space jericho, bishada, kurai, moirai, t-25, mikro/vaquero, and the fresno are now useable, although they all have various issues that need fixing everything else is still useless -
Arlon Benjamin, and by extension the G-Kings, are the “revolutionaries” looking to overturn the status quo - even if not all the gangbangers are aware of it there’s a decent irl parallel of the G-Kings being the cultural tastemakers of San Paro even as the city relegates them to the bottom rung of society

is weapon range still maxed at 100 meters?
vsb replied to illgot's topic in Social District (General Discussion)
osmaw rockets are projectiles, so theoretically they have no range limit i guess - the fuse timer makes them explode at 142m bullets are hitscan so i assume they require an enemy hitbox to be rendered on your client in order to generate a hit, that’s still limited to ~101m or so
